Hamilton to face off against Rosberg in Press Conference

Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg will face the media together ahead of their championship showdown on Sunday.

Both drivers will be quizzed at Thursday’s Drivers’ Press Conference on their thoughts and feelings ahead of the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

One of the Mercedes team-mates will become world champion, with Hamilton a clear favourite. He leads Rosberg by 17 points in the Drivers’ Standings and will win if he finishes either first or second.

However, if the Englishman slips up in anyway then Rosberg will be on hand to claim his maiden title with the help of double points, which are awarded for the last race of the season.

Jenson Button congratulates Fernando Alonso

Joining the title rivals is Ferrari’s outgoing Spaniard, Fernando Alonso, who is still yet to formally announce his expected move to McLaren.

McLaren are expected to announce that Alonso will replace Jenson Button at the team for next year before this weekend’s race. Button is also due to appear at the Press Conference at what is expected to be his last race in the sport.

Also appearing at the event is Sebastian Vettel, who is due to leave Red Bull and replace Alonso at Ferrari. Vettel has won the previous four world championships.

Force India’s Nico Hulkenberg completes the line-up but can expect a quiet conference from his perspective.

The last Press Conference of the season will take place at 11am (GMT) on Thursday morning.
